 Shell from three to six inches long, and about one-fifth as 

 broad, of a pale chestnut-colour, with a row of large white 

 spots on the tumid upper part of the whirls ; the whirls are 

 more numerous than in B. macu/atum, and it is a perfectly 

 distinct species. It is well figured in Martyn's Univ. Concho- 

 logy, but I cannot ascertain the number of the plate.

China. Humphreys. 

 Shell from three to six inches long, and the breadth scarcely 

 exceeds an eighth of the length ; the colour is white with a 

 tinge of yellow, red or brown, and marked with three rows 

 of squarish dark ferruginous spots on the body-whirl, and two 

 on the other whirls, of which there are grnerally more than 

 twenty ; the upper half of the whirls is slightly tumid, and a 

 faint sunk line is observable in the lower whirls, which fol- 

 lows the course of the spire, and becomes stronger as it ap- 

 proaches the summit ; these markings being stronger than is 

 usual may probably give the shell that angulated appearance
